Despite the best efforts of medical ethicists over the past quarter
century, the ethical challenges surrounding dying and death in the
clinical setting remain largely unresolved, and little sustained
attention has been paid to how thinking about death relates to and
affects clinical practice. The reality is that people die, and that
dying patients are not people for whom nothing can be done. Death
in the Clinic provides medical students, residents, and educators a
framework within which to explore and address this reality, while
existential and philosophical questions about death will recommend
the book to chaplains, social workers, palliative care clinicians,
nurses, and clinical ethicists. Death in the Clinic fills a gap in
contemporary medical education by explicitly addressing the
concrete clinical realities about death with which practitioners,
patients, and their families continue to wrestle.

An ever-more diverse America is getting older, but American
policies are not growing with the needs of our ethnic and aging
society. Age Through Ethnic Lenses explores the distinct
characteristics and unique social, political, economic, and
cultural situations of America's aged, while highlighting the
common needs and objectives among all aging Americans. With
portraits of Asians, Latinos, individuals of European and African
origins, Native Americans, Socio-religious groups, women, gay men
and women, and the rural aged, this book broadens our perspective
on the issues of long-term care, and provides a valuable guide for
future public policy as we enter the twenty-first century.
